Mi Jersey Su Jersey
Vos, still has more than just an eye for the rainbow jersey On face value, this appears to be your every day friendly celebration of the new Women’s World Road Race Champion receiving her rainbow jersey; but look carefully and there’s another peculiar story unfolding. It looks like Pauline Ferrand-Prevot was handed a new jersey, but Rabobank got…

From Yorkshire with Love
Yorkshire loves Le Tour. Le Tour loves Yorkhsire. And we love them both! This is a different kind of gallery. A day in the life of the fans… Ash and Max get up to Yorkshire nice and early for the first stage. It’s a popular day, and Max proves to be a worthy competitor for Marcel…

Tour de Suisse – Coming ‘atcha
If the Dauphine heralds the arrival of the true contenders for the Tour de France throne, then surely the Tour de Suisse (TdS) is the calm before this storm. With the advancement of onboard-camera technology, coupled with alliances between teams and officials, our viewing pleasure is about to be notched up by a factor of 10. We always…

The Rush Hour
From Jupiter to London We’ve been coming to watch the races at the London Nocturne for as long as we can remember. The only thing I forgot was how popular it has become, and the effort it takes to find each other, but we always do! Smithfields Market is the home of the London Nocturne. A technical…

The Roubaix Family
Where do you go for a Bank Holiday weekend? Bournemouth? Sure, a nice beach; just not the right season yet. Brighton? A good ride, and delicious smoked fish, but this weekend happens to be at the height of the Classics Season. And as such, we can have only one answer – Roubaix, France. Fresh…

Roubaix Strikes Back
The Paris-Roubaix 2014 is coming. In honour to this Cycling-Classic, we post some of our favourite images from our 2013 expedition. What does it feel like to ride on the cobbles? A little something like this… It sounds a like this: And romantically looks like this: Thanks to Crazy Legs for catching these moments and letting us hang…

Memories of Roubaix 4
It’s early, it’s cold, and most of us are feeling a wee bit apprehensive. It’s our first time on the cobbles. Realising this, Chronos breaks the ice and does a wheelie to kick off our Roubaix adventure! The Paris-Roubaix 2014 is coming.

Memories of Roubaix 3
We witness the peloton attack the first set of cobbles, and it’s ferocious! As we race back to our coach to catch them on the Arenberg, amongst the tractor tracks are heart-shapes on the hallowed soil. It’s magic! The Paris-Roubaix 2014 is coming. In honour to this Cycling-Classic, we post some of our favourite images from…

Red and Black
Red and Black – they are our colours. In the run-up to the Spring Classics, where 10 Baroudeurs will attempt the Paris-Roubaix Challenge on April 6, and with all the dark-hard winter riding we have shared, why not have a good cheery song to whistle to?! ‘Red and Black – The London Baroudeurs Version’ is inspired by…

Blue Steel Smash
Richmond – Guilford – Box Hill – Return Until a reasonable write up is penned, we had this little groove happen… No guitar, 2-by-4; JCB; Concords or ‘fish’ were injured in the making of this cycle ride. Although, pile-drivers and Chinese-burns may have happened away from camera.

Love the TDU
“Let’s go to Adelaide for dad’s birthday” my wife said. I didn’t dismiss the idea completely. Sure it was going to cost me a silly amount of money to fly myself, wife and 3 kids over to Adelaide, but I had just finished reading the Tour Down Under ride guide and I was sure…

It’s not all about cycling
This morning reminded me that what we do is not all about cycling. Yes, we get together and we ride. And more often than not, we ride a lot and dare I say it, we have craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy fun! But it’s not always on a bike. Some of my favourite moments are sitting on top of…
